Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Take That have announced they will perform at this year’s Brit Awards.

Now a threesome, the group will make their sixth live appearance at the awards since 1994.

Take That will join already confirmed acts Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, Taylor Swift, Paloma Faith, George Ezra and Royal Blood at the ceremony next month.

Sam Smith leads the Brit Award nominations with five nods. The soulful singer will go head to head with Ed Sheeran, who received four nominations last week including Best Album and Best Solo Artist.

George Ezra has also earned four nominations after his debut album Wanted on Voyage topped the charts and sold more than 800,000 copies.

Brighton rockers Royal Blood follow with three nods including Best British Album after securing a chart-topping debut with their self-titled album.

Ant and Dec will take over from James Corden to host the ceremony at London’s O2 Arena on 25 February.
